Care After the Hair Transplant

See our instructions in the video.

During the first two days after the transplant, the hair should not be washed. From the third day on, hair washing is allowed according to the following instructions:

• First, use HAIR & SKIN foam. Apply the foam carefully with your fingertips in the treated area.

• Leave it on for 30 minutes and rinse off with a light stream of water.

• Carefully wash the remaining hair with the HAIR & SKIN shampoo and massage the donor area at the back of the head with circular movements.

• Rinse with a light stream of water and gently blot with a paper towel. Do not use a different kind of towel.

Starting on the eighth day, add circular motions to the washing process in the transplanted area to massage any remaining crusts.

At the 10-day check-up, there should be no crusts left.

From the eleventh day, the hair can be washed as usual and the shampoo can still be used for this purpose. The foam is no longer needed.

It is important to take the medication according to the medication schedule during the first three days.

In addition, you should sleep on your back and with your upper body elevated for one week to avoid pressure on the area with implanted hair. Ideally you should use a travel pillow (neck pillow). The TENA Bed pad can be used as a sleeping pad.

From the third day, a light head covering is allowed again without putting pressure on the implanted area.

From the eleventh day, non-transplanted hair may be cut with scissors, but no razor may be used.

• During the first two days after the transplantation, the transplanted as well as untransplanted area must not be touched or washed.

• In addition, it is forbidden to smoke, consume alcohol and other drugs for two weeks.

• During the first 30 days after the transplantation, it is not allowed to do sports, swimming, sea, sauna, solarium or sunbathing.

• From the 31st day, it is again allowed to wear motorcycle/ski helmets as well as caps.

• In addition, hair products such as minoxidil, wax, gel or spray may not be used until the 49 day mark.

• Furthermore, the hair may not be colored, blow-dried, shaved or plucked for 120 days. Contact sports are also prohibited for 120 days.
